Chapter 217 Gao Huan! Gao Huan!
In the early morning, the Liu army in Xinzheng City went out of the city to collect grain after breakfast.
Previously, after Liu Zehan occupied Xinzheng, Hou Fangyu asked someone to post a notice announcing the reclaiming of the land, and the additional land tax and three wages.
However, the people of each village in Xinzheng did not tell me that the government troops who went to the countryside to collect grain had a conflict with each village. Liu Zehan's men killed and injured nearly a thousand people, and even settled a village, but the villagers did not surrender and still resisted paying taxes.
This made Liu Zehan, who occupied Xinzheng, very passive. The people resisted fiercely. The 10,000 troops could not even settle a Xinzheng County. How could they take Gao Huan's nest Dengfeng?
After thinking about it, Liu Zehan and Hou Fangyu thought that the reason why the unruly people in Xinzheng County dared to fight against the government was that Gao Youwen and others secretly instructed the unruly people to resist taxes.
When they were in Jiangnan, whenever the court had to increase taxes, check the land and collect commercial taxes, civil unrest would occur and would be subject to fierce opposition from the people.
However, Hou Fangyu knew in his heart that the people in Jiangnan were behind the resistance to taxes, and behind the support of the gentry and tribes in Southeast Asia, and now the people in Xinzheng are fighting against them, there must be some people behind the scenes.
Therefore, Hou Fangyu designed to arrest Gao Youwen and the Gao clan. As long as he controls the Gao family, what else can ordinary people do?
Now most of the Gao clan members are thrown into prison. The people in the county have lost their backbone, so Liu Zehan sent people out of the city to collect grain.
Early in the morning, teams of Liu's official troops pushed a cart, brought their own sacks, and left the city with some talk and laugh, preparing to do a big fight.
The county yamen, Liu Zehan, Hou Fangyu and others sat in the flower hall to drink tea.
Hou Fangyu smiled and said, "Major General, after Xinzheng's grain collection, it's time to go to Mi County."
Liu Zehan nodded, "Tomorrow, I will send two thousand people to take over Mi County first."
"There is still the same way. Find a reason first and catch Gao Huan's people clean." Hou Fangyu took a sip of tea and pointed at Jiang Shan.
Liu Zehan agreed deeply, "Yes! According to the young master's method, one can shock the people and let them know that Gao Huan has collapsed, and two can make them lose command and let us mercy!"
Hou Fangyu nodded, "If this matter is done well, I will be worthy of Duxian Wang's trust."
In the flower hall, several people laughed and celebrated the smooth progress of the grain collection in advance.
When the atmosphere was warm, a rapid sound of footsteps gradually approached. Soon, a servant of Liu's family broke into the flower hall, causing everyone's expression to change.
Liu Zehan frowned, and saw that the servant fell to the ground as soon as he came in!
Hou Fangyu was shocked and spilled tea all over. A thousand households quickly got up, stepped forward to support the servants, and asked, "What's going on?"
The servant was injured by something, and his body was covered in trauma, and blood was flowing all over. He held him to Qianhu and saw that his hands were covered with blood, and exclaimed, "Why are you injured?"
The servant pointed outside the city and said breathlessly: "Major General, we went to Gaolaozhuang to collect grain, and were surrounded by unruly people!"
"What?" Liu Zehan slapped the table and was furious, "Things who don't know how to live or die are shameless. They dare to touch our general's grain collection team!"
Hou Fangyu put the teacup heavily on the table and frowned. Unexpectedly, Gao Youwen was arrested and the people of Xinzheng dared to fight against the government.
The unruly people here are even more difficult to deal with than the unruly people in Jiangnan.
Hou Fangyu closed the folding fan and asked in a deep voice: "Gao Laozhuang is less than ten miles away from the city. These unruly people are very brave and do not take the government seriously at all. What is the situation over there now? How many unruly people are there?"
"Report to Mr. Hou, there are thousands of people on the other side, and Gao Xun is the leader!" The clerk said in a crying voice. "We were surrounded as soon as we entered the village. The unruly people came up with hoes and dung forks and greeted each other without saying a word. Many brothers were beaten to death on the spot, while the rest were captured. Gao Xun let the young ones come back and asked the major general to release Gao Youwen and others, otherwise they would beat Chen Baihu and his brothers to death!"
Now Liu Zehan and Hou Fangyu both understood.
After Gao Xun escaped, he organized unruly people to siege the grain collection team, hoping to threaten them to release the Gao clan.
Hou Fangyu took the initiative to review and said, "I'm careless! I'll cut the grass and don't eradicate the roots, let Gao Xun do this first!"
Liu Zehan was furious, "This kid Gao Xun is looking for death, but he dared to threaten me under my nose. He is simply ignorant of his life or death."
"Hmph! Mr. Hou doesn't have to worry. This is just an accident. I will order the troops and destroy him." Liu Zehan gritted his teeth and shouted, "What's the matter? I want to make a deal with me. I will pass the order and immediately mobilize the troops and follow me to run to Gao Laozhuang!"
As soon as Liu Zehan shouted, many officers in the hall roared!
He actually dared to siege the official army and should have threatened the major general. A group of unruly people is really against the will of heaven.
"I'll go with the Major General!" Hou Fangyu opened the fan and said while shaking it.
Soon, the official army in Xinzheng City gathered, and Liu Zehan led more than 5,000 people to Gaolaozhuang with murderous intent.
Within half an hour, the five thousand officials came outside Gaolaozhuang, and the villagers in the village were ready.
Liu Zehan rode on the war horse and snorted coldly, "Troublemakers! Go and ask them to surrender quickly, and they can avoid death, otherwise they will be treated as bandits!"
Nowadays, Henan has been full of bandits, and it is said that they are bandits, and the court will not ask about it at all.
When a cavalry heard the words, he immediately slapped his horse's buttocks and rushed out. He ran to the outside of the village and shouted, "Inside~ah!"
With a scream, as soon as the cavalry spoke, the village shot out an arrow, hitting the cavalry's face and directly shooting him off the horse.
"Fuck!" Liu Zehan exclaimed, "Sharpshooter!"
At this time, Gao Laozhuang, a big flag suddenly lifted, and countless flags were raised in the village instantly, and countless red figures appeared.
"Coax!" A cannon rang out.
In the wilderness on both sides of the Liu army, a shocking cry immediately sounded, and countless soldiers and horses slowly pressed up from the wilderness in the distance.
At the same time, the sound of horse hooves sounded, and more than a thousand red horsemen were led by Xu Heihu, and the horse hooves penetrated straight to the rear of the Liu army.
Under the banner, Liu Zehan and Hou Fangyu looked at each other, and as they looked at the changes around them, their faces were pale.
"This~What's going on?" Hou Fangyu's folding fan fell to the ground in shock.
Liu Zehan looked around in horror and found that he was surrounded and his face turned ashen.
However, at this time, Liu Zehan still had a trace of fantasy and hurriedly shouted: "Don't panic! They are just unruly people!"
At this time, in Gao Laozhuang, a red-armored general with a ghost face ran out of the village with a long spear. He was holding a flag behind him, holding swords, guns, bows, arrows, and bird guns, and soon formed a large formation behind the Red-armored general.
Liu Zehan was in a state of chaos in the war horse under his crotch, and the soldiers and generals behind him retreated in horror. Suddenly shouted in the crowd, "It's Gao Huan! It's Gao Huan!"
"Oh my God! Why is Gao Huan?"
"Gao Huan! I'm dead now, wuwu~"
The officers and soldiers of the Liu army, looking at Gao Huan and Chi Beijun who appeared, someone was so scared that they burst into tears.
Hou Fangyu's head was dizzy, his body swayed immediately, and he almost fell off the horse.
"How is this possible? Could it be that Gao Huan defeated Li Zicheng!" Liu Zehan's eyes were frightened, and he was extremely frightened.
At this time, Gao Huan rushed forward, pointed at Liu Zehan and others with a flashing spear head, and said coldly: "Surrender immediately, otherwise you will die!"
When Liu Zehan, Hou Fangyu and others heard the words, they couldn't help but shivered and did not dare to resist at all.
